One Valley Community Foundation Hosts 9th Give Big Gallatin Valley May 4th-5th
Montana’s largest 24-hour giving event is back with a record-breaking 250 local nonprofits.

Gallatin County, MT- One Valley Community Foundation’s 9th annual Give Big Gallatin Valley will occur from 6:00 pm May 4th to 6:00 pm May 5th. Give Big is a 24-hour giving day offering donors a convenient way to support all the causes they care about from one website. A record-breaking 250 local nonprofits will participate in this year’s event, each with a customized profile on GiveBigGV.org.

Give Big has continued to grow over the years, raising over $11.4 million since its inception in 2015. One Valley hopes to continue the growth this year by raising $3 million for local nonprofits.

“Each year, we are astounded by the incredible generosity of our community and those that love and support Gallatin County,” said Jill Ellwood, Nonprofit Programming and Relations Manager at One Valley Community Foundation. “We are thrilled to host Give Big again and are hopeful that the community can come together to raise $3 million to support the crucial work being done by local nonprofits.”

Give Big provides a unique fundraising opportunity for nonprofits. In addition to the widespread promotion and the large number of donors the event attracts, giving goes further with $20,000 in nonprofit prizes thanks to generous local business partners.

For the 6th year, Yellowstone Club Community Foundation has partnered with One Valley as the Headline Sponsor of Give Big. Their ongoing support of the initiative has bolstered the event’s growth and strengthened our nonprofit community. “We are honored to be able to support One Valley in making this incredible day of giving possible each year! The magnitude of community-wide philanthropy is inspiring, and the impact made across Gallatin County by all the local organizations that participate is transformational,” said Ciara Wolfe, Yellowstone Club Community Foundation’s VP of Philanthropy.

This year, donors can support all 250 organizations with one gift by donating to the Community Fund. Donations to this fund will be pooled and distributed evenly across participating nonprofits after Give Big concludes.

There are many ways for donors to get involved during Give Big. Around the county, nonprofits will host various events to engage with their supporters. One Valley encourages community members to find an event to attend at givebiggv.org/info/events. Donors can also help spread the word by sharing on social media using the hashtag #GiveBigGV.
